Hawaiians believed that there was a relationship connecting the existence of sea, land, nature and the universe. This connection originated from their genealogical and spiritual beliefs. For Hawaiians, nature was the phenomenon where all such interactions and existence emanated. They considered themselves as children of nature or land. They believed that land was the core aspect of life rather than mere dirt, sand or soil. Hawaiians believed that land developed deep emotion that grew from ancestral period when they inhabited the islands (natural land). They believed that land was a fundamental aspect for human survival. According to Jonathan (2004), cultural anthropology has been utilized as important tool which enabled Hawaiians understand and learn many issues about their past experiences. Furthermore, cultural anthropology helped Hawaiians to sustain and conserve their culture. Cultural anthropologists explored Hawaiian ethno-history and redeveloped this traditional history as an important aspect for Hawaiians.
